Unfortunately I just received another spam email like this.

I checked the email address and it is not subscribed to our list, they
have probably gone a step further and figured it is better if they
subscribe with a different email address than what they use to sp[am
people back.

Unfortunately this spam does not go through the mailing list, so
moderating addresses (which I do for suspicious email addresses since a
while) does not solve anything as these spam email are sent directly to
the sender.

Sadly I guess the only way is to improve personal spam filters :/

Simo.
